Throughout the day this Virgo Full Moon will connect Mars by quincunx which tells me some of us are making a hard adjustment, trying to take action but finding that difficult.
Throughout the day, this Full Moon in Virgo forms a quincunx aspect with Mars, indicating that some of us may encounter challenges in taking decisive action. Despite efforts to initiate change, there might be difficulty in finding a smooth path forward.
Furthermore, the Virgo Full Moon opposes Saturn, the celestial figure associated with rules, regulations, karma, and duty. This alignment serves as a reminder to persevere in pursuing our important goals, even amidst obstacles or setbacks.
In addition, the Full Moon also forms a quincunx aspect with Venus in Aquarius.

In summary, this Full Moon in Virgo urges us to navigate challenges with diligence and adaptability, reminding us of the importance of staying committed to our goals while also remaining open to reevaluation and growth.
Now Let’s Talk About The Lunar Gestation Cycle That This Full Moon Belongs To That Started Eighteen months ago for a deeper look.Â
18 months ago we had a New Moon in Virgo around the same degree as this Full Moon. It was on August 27, 2022 at 4° of Virgo. The First Quarter Moon was May 27, 2023 at 6° of Virgo. Today's Full Moon on February 24, 2024 is at 5° of Virgo, the Last Quarter Moon will be November 23, 2024 at 1° of Virgo. If you take a close look at these degrees you'll see everybody's within 5° of each other this is the link of the Lunar Gestation Cycle that the current Full Moon is part of, so it's good to look at the whole picture for additional insight and not just a monthly lunar cycle.
Go back in your manifestation journals or diaries, however, you like to keep track of your new moon rituals and start with August 27, 2022. What were the new moon goals and intentions that you set? If you didn't set any intentions at that point in time you can just look at what was going on in your environment and your current life situation back then. Because it will be coming to your full awareness now as described above and below.
Here is a brief description of each lunar gestation cycle. Each one is 9 months long.
So in essence: The start of each lunar gestation phase begins with a New Moon, which brings awareness to new events within a fresh Zodiac sign. The one reported on here is all about Virgo. It presents an opportunity for learning and exploration. Engaging in activities aligned with the Zodiac sign of the New Moon. At this stage, we usually don't know the outcome of what we're initiating because both the Sun and Moon are at the same place in the zodiac and have a similar perspective. It's akin to planting a seed, where the results will unfold over time. The heightened awareness gained from setting goals and intentions during this New Moon will unfold over a period of nine months, leading up to the First Quarter Moon, which will be at a similar degree. Therefore, it's important to sow ideas and embark on new ventures that feel inspired and aligned with the qualities represented by the corresponding Zodiac sign.
Nine months after the New Moon, we reach the First Quarter Moon, (some calendars will call this the Second Quarter Moon) which occurs at a similar degree as the New Moon. This phase serves as a turning point marked by the square aspect between the Sun and the Moon. It's common to experience stress and struggle striving during this stage of the lunar gestation phase. While there is heightened activity and courage, challenges also arise. These struggles often lay the groundwork for a significant leap forward at the subsequent lunar phase, which would be the Full Moon nine months later. By this point, we have become actively engaged in the endeavors initiated during the New Moon nine months ago, and the results of our efforts begin to manifest.
Nine more months later and we have The Full Moon.
The Full Moon, offers a reflection of everything we have learned and experienced over the past 18 months. During this phase, the focus shifts towards social matters, personal relationships, all kinds of partnerships as well as our connection to the public. Whether or not you are currently in a partnership, someone or something will appear to bring forth awareness around the subject matter you began 18 months ago. We attain a state of complete awareness, as there is usually nothing left to be unveiled.Â
At this point, everything we initiated during the New Moon becomes fully visible, and we gain a comprehensive understanding of what our efforts, which began 18 months ago, have achieved. It becomes a time of confronting challenges head-on and realizing the extent of our accomplishments.
During the Last Quarter Moon, (some calendars will call this the Third Quarter Moon) we enter a phase of review that encompasses wisdom, experience, and patience. It serves as a time to reap the rewards for our prior efforts from the previous quarters.Â
In the last quarter of the moon, many things from the past tend to resurface, and we find ourselves wrapping up various activities that were initiated during the new moon phase 27 months ago. It is crucial to pay attention to the lessons learned during this time, as well as to address any outstanding karmic debts or unresolved matters related to what was set in motion during the New Moon 27 months ago.
*A little re-cap. As the Full Moon in Virgo falls within this lunar gestation cycle, it carries the qualities and attributes of Virgo—an earth sign known for its attention to detail, practicality, and dedication to service. This suggests that the energies of this Full Moon may emphasize themes related to health, wellness, work, and organization, aligning with the broader characteristics of Virgo.
